BOMB PROJECT

 For the 3 day bomb project we were put into groups consisting of people from all year groups and asked to  collectively create a 3D reinterpretation of a building typology, my group was given the heading SHOP. Firstly we had a brainstorm session in which we thought of what the word SHOP means to us. We then came up with the idea of advertisement and how the consumer is effected by this. We see something we want to buy in a newspaper, magazine, internet, T.V advert or shop window so as a consumer we are drawn into the shop. The majority of people come out of a shop with more than they needed or wanted therefore have spent more money.

To show our interpretation of this we firstly made a large cube which would act as a shop window for us. We then took a shirt and divided it into many sections and added receipts, printed money and advertisement from magazines and newspapers. We then positioned the shirt in different depths and heights of the box so that you are able to see the shirt as a whole from one angle and just in pieces at other angles. This for the viewer would be more interesting as they are intrigued at first to what it is then as they move around it is made clear that it all fits together. After putting the shirt into place, as a group we decided to make trousers and shoes as the rest of the display looked a bit blank. I feel that the final outcome has worked well and is an interesting view of what the word SHOP means to us.
